Geoffrey Hinton Quotes

The brain has about ten thousand parameters for every second of experience. We do not really have much experience about how systems like that work or how to make them be so good at finding structure in data.

I have always been convinced that the only way to get artificial intelligence to work is to do the computation in a way similar to the human brain. That is the goal I have been pursuing. We are making progress, though we still have lots to learn about how the brain actually works.

Moore's Law-based technology is so much easier than neuroscience. The brain works in such a different way from the way a computer does.

Just like the brain consists of billions of highly connected neurons, a basic operating unit in a neural network is a neuron-like node. It takes input from other nodes and sends output to others.

The computer is not, in our opinion, a good model of the mind, but it is as the trumpet is to the orchestra - you really need it. And so, we have very massive simulations in computers because the problem is, of course, very complex.

If we ever find out how the brain works, with all its complexity, then we will be able to build a machine that has consciousness. And if that happens, that is a road to planetary disaster because everything we've thought about ourselves, since the Bronze Age, the Bible, all of that will be gone.

I was interested in big unknowns, and the brain is one of the biggest, so building tools that allow us to regard the brain as a big electrical circuit appealed to me.

Nobody programmes the brain, yet it keeps learning. India shouldn't miss the emerging age of brain-inspired computing.

Replacing human vision is more than just a tool: we need to understand how that affects the brain.

As someone who was basically a software engineer for many years, I became fascinated with how the brain functions and is put together and works in such a different fashion than computers do.

I first got interested in the brain through computers.

As a programmer, you're working with very simple structures compared to the brain. So I was always fascinated by how the brain works.

Nobody really knows what it would take to create something that is self-aware or has a personality. I guess I could imagine a day when perhaps, if we can understand how it works in the human brain, which is unbelievably complicated, it could be possible.

There's a long history of artificial intelligence programs that try to mimic what the brain is doing, but they've all fallen short.

Understanding vision and building visual systems is really understanding intelligence.

The human brain has an amazing ability for pattern recognition, sometimes even better than a computer.

Artificial intelligence is the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men.

I don't think there's anything unique about human intellience. All the nuerons in the brain that make up perceptions and emotions operate in a binary fashion.

My system uses the speed of components in cameras and cell phones to get four inches of depth through the brain.

Once you acknowledge that human brains are basically made of atoms and acknowledge that atoms are governed by simple laws of physics, then there is no reasoning principle why computers couldn't do anything that people are doing, and we don't really see any evidence that this is not the case.

Deep learning is a subfield of machine learning, which is a vibrant research area in artificial intelligence, or AI.

Deep learning is already working in Google search and in image search; it allows you to image-search a term like 'hug.' It's used to getting you Smart Replies to your Gmail. It's in speech and vision. It will soon be used in machine translation, I believe.

All you need is lots and lots of data and lots of information about what the right answer is, and you'll be able to train a big neural net to do what you want.

I became interested in AI in high school because I read 'Goedel, Escher, Bach,' a book by Douglas Hofstader. He showed how all their work in some ways fit together, and he talked about artificial intelligence. I thought 'Wow, this is what I want to be doing.'

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of how to get machines to do the things they do in the movies.
